The person who was working Friday night was wonderful and very polite. When asked questions she was very knowledgeable not only about the hotel but about the surrounding area as well. The only issue i had is with the room out of the 5 outlets only one worked. Overall an amazing stay would definitely go back

Just sleep in your car,,,

Not a hotel. This is an single room occupancy residence that used to be a hotel but still can't sell enough monthly leases. The checkin took over 15 minutes.The kind staff gave us the best room in the house overlooking a lovely closed but algae green pool, There is no bar onsite. Lots of food and stuff nearby - which is good, you won't want to spend any more time on the property than is absolutely necessary.
